A Bethlehem man, who
was cautioned to be careful after bumping into another man's cane, allegedly
threatened the man's life.

Court records say bags carried by Jose Carlos Rosario, 49, who lives at the Fred B. Rooney
Building on the first block of East
Fourth Street, bumped into Rafael Gonzalez's cane on Saturday afternoon in the building. Gonzalez told police he
warned Rosario to be more careful,
court papers say.

Rosario allegedly
pulled out a folding knife and threatened to kill Gonzalez. Witnesses say Rosario
did not unfold the blade portion of the knife, but could be heard making
threatening remarks.

Rosario was
arraigned before District Judge Jacqueline Taschner on charges of terroristic
threats, simple assault and harassment. He was sent to Northampton County
Prison in lieu of $5,000 bail with a 10 percent option.
